ALHAMBRA -- The Keppel football team will return to the gridiron this Friday night after cancelling its last two games due to not having enough players, a Keppel school official said on Monday.
Heather Semelmacher, Keppel's athletic director, said while the team was forced to cancel its Sept. 23 and Oct. 6 games as it did not have enough players, the Aztecs resume their season at 7 p.m. on Friday night, hosting Bell Gardens.

ALHAMBRA – With Almont League season already underway, the Mark Keppel High girls tennis team has one goal on its mind – beat Alhambra.
While that didn't exactly go as planned as the Aztecs dropped a 14-4 decision to the Moors on Tuesday, the teams play again on Oct. 20 with Keppel hoping to stay in line for at least a share of the league title.

Mark Keppel High Aztecs did not dress up for the scheduled game this week with Montebello Schurr High, apparently due to its lack of players as a result of injuries and a small squad with few back-ups. This was the second game that Keppel has missed in the last two weeks.

Meanwhile, here are scores from local games:

Schurr 2, Keppel 0 (forfeit)

Bell Gardens, 47, San Gabriel 22

Montebello 30, Alhambra 12

Rosemead 35, Gabrielino 14

Bosco Tech 44, St. Bernard 6

Note: Cantwell-Sacred Heart is scheduled to host St. Anthony at 5 p.m.
